Cabarrus Arts Council

This entertaining cabaret is a musical journey through the war that redefined the world.  Award-winning artists David zum Brunnen and Serena Ebhardt fill the stage with 1940’s tunes and World War II memories.  Actual veterans’ letters weave a sentimental journey back through the days when blackouts and rationing were a small sacrifice in order to obtain freedom; a time when Rosie the Riveter discovered she could take care of herself; a time when African-Americans, who were segregated at home, integrated abroad to became heroes; and when a man's only wish was to be home for Christmas.  Twenty-two memorable songs are performed with pizzazz.  This show was filmed for public television as a companion to Ken Burns’ epic documentary The War.
